I'm in the process of building a budget gaming PC primarily for titles like CS2, League, and Apex. I've chosen the Ryzen 5 8400F processor and I'm using 16GB (2x8) of DDR5 5600 RAM. Now, I'm on the hunt for an affordable GPU and I'm considering the 1660 Ti. My aim is to game at 1080p and achieve a stable 150fps to match my 144Hz monitor. Do you think the 1660 Ti will be sufficient for my needs?

So, I'm in Croatia, and the pricing here makes things tricky! The 7500F is almost double the cost of the 8400F, plus I'm planning to upgrade later this year. Right now, I've set a GPU budget of about 80-120 euros for a second-hand card. The 1660 Ti is going for 90 euros, but I've also spotted a RX 5700 XT for 120 euros and a 2060 6GB for around 100 euros. Any thoughts on those options?
Could you share your country and budget for the GPU? Knowing the prices of what you're looking at would help a lot!
Honestly, I recommend at least an RX 7600, as it would offer significantly better performance compared to the 1660 Ti. But again, it really depends on your budget and current pricing for these parts.
By the way, if you haven't bought the 8400F yet, consider the 7500F. It’s a bit pricier, but with double the L3 cache and a higher turbo frequency, it could really enhance your gaming experience.
